Relevant Information:

This species has a white or pale stripe
running along the lateral line. The stripe is bordered above and
below by dark patterning. Some specimens have a dark spot at the
dorsal fin base; some a small dark triangular spot at the middle
of the body near the base of the caudal fin (midpeduncular spot);
some with a humeral semi-ocellus. Can be visually distinguished
from other species by combination of a very long adipose fin which
originates more or less directly after the dorsal fin, very long
maxillary barbels which extend at least to the posterior point
of the body, the white lateral streak, and the caudal fin lobes
curling inwards. (Grant 2009)
